9/11 Related Disability Fraud

Unfortunately Richard Gage isn't the only fraudster to make money off of 9/11.

More than 100 former New York City workers were charged Tuesday with faking psychological problems for insurance benefits. Prosecutors say the total bilked from Social Security disability insurance could reach $400 million, dating back to 1988.

According to the prosecution, Louis Hurtado was starring in instructional videos as a 6th-degree black belt, while telling the New York Police Department he was disabled with neck injuries and psychological problems.

He is accused of taking $470,000 over 24 years.
Richard Cosentino allegedly received $207,000 while claiming he was too depressed to go outside after the attacks on 9/11.
Glenn Lieberman received $174,000. He was also too depressed to go outside.
"

As a New Yorker, as a U.S. citizen, I can only express disgust at the actions of the individuals involved in this scheme," said New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton.

More than half of these cases came from those claiming the events of 9/11 left them unfit to work.

The math illiterate sex predator for 9/11 "truth" prevaricates, "...I guess the libeler and liar ButtGale can't even read a short article and see that it contains three samples with a median value of 200,000 and a mean value of 291,333."

Well, it's good to see that the long quiet period at this blog hasn't dampened Brian Good's spirits. He was busy hitting refresh for several weeks, but now can post hysterical spam again. 2014 will be the year the widows have their questions answered! And there will be a new investigation! And "meatball on a fork" will be published in a journal of engineering! You girls will be sorry!

Also, Brian, for your new year's resolution, can you resolve to change your avatar photo from the ridiculous jerk-off fantasy photo of Willie Rodriguez? We get it. You're homosexually infatuated with him, but wish he were fatter.

This turn of events underscores one of the main problems with how NYC and the US Government handled the aftermath of 9/11. In my opinion there was often too much deference to the NYPD, FDNY, and people who worked (or claimed to work) in the WTC complex and surrounding area. The over-sensitivity lead to the slow, or non-release of information which would have shut down the troofers before they got going.

This story does have a bright spot: it reveals the impossibility of a massive conspiracy by the fact all of these people have been charged. The DA's office hasn't quit on 9/11.

Oh, so now in the fantasy world of MGF Island, it's excessive deference to the victims of 9/11 that caused the government's failure to answer the questions about 9/11.

How could Willie be on the fraud list? He wasn't claiming he was hiding at home afraid to go out. He was on TV, doing a Tango program. He was traveling around the world lying his Randied ass off about 9/11.

The degenerate sex stalker for 9/11 truth prattles, "...How could Willie be on the fraud list? He wasn't claiming he was hiding at home afraid to go out. He was on TV, doing a Tango program. He was traveling around the world lying his Randied [SIC] ass off about 9/11."

"But the only ones they mention got half a million, 200,000, and 174,000." -- Brian "snug.bug" Good proving that he doesn't understand his own verbiage.

Obviously, the "half-million" is a reference to the $470,000 awarded to Louis Hurtado (an error of $30,000 on YOUR part). The "$200,000" refers to the $207,000 awarded to Richard Cosentino (an error of $7,000 on YOUR part) and the "$174,000" refers to the $174,000 awarded to Glenn Lieberman. Well, considering the source (YOU), one correct out of three isn't bad.

So where are the errors? The only errors I see are your incorrect citation of the dollar amounts awarded to Hurtado and Cosentino.

Mr. Applied Mathematics now down to linkspammer GutterBall can't even figure out that a half mill is a perfectly valid approximation for $470,000.

And he's also lying about what he said (or maybe just forgot what he said) because now he's correctly perceiving that I was simply citing three figures: A, B, and C and not, as he erroneously concluded, claiming that B + C = A.

Tripped up by first grade maths, UtterFail shows how far Ian's stooopid lies have brought him down.

The lying liar lies, "...And he's also lying about what he said (or maybe just forgot what he said) because now he's correctly perceiving that I was simply citing three figures: A, B, and C and not, as he erroneously concluded, claiming that B + C = A."

That's not what I said, liar.

Why must I constantly tell you what I didn't say -- you straw man argument spewing pervert?

THat's exactlt what you said, silly, in the second post in this thread.

"Only a cretin and a sex stalker like Brian 'snug.bug' Good could add 200,000 and 174,000 (which equals 374,000) and get 'half a million.'"

You said B + C = A, when clearly I was just identifying three separate terms: A, B, and C.

You're not even competent to read your own posts and see what you said. No surprise then that you're confused about 9/11, and that you glom on the lies about me circulated by bigots and con artists I have antagonized.

Instead, you lied, and tried to change the subject to "the mean" (which you never mentioned in your first post) and then tried to change the subject to Willie Rodriguez -- which is a diversionary tactic on your part.

So Brian, how was your December? You didn't spend a lot of time posting here, which is strange.

Incidentally, my Uncle Steve (who, as you all know, is a professor of engineering at UCLA) said they found some guy, who appeared to be homeless and mentally ill, wandering through the halls of his department yelling about "widows with questions" and how none of the people there endorsed the NIST report and how all engineers are cowards. Eventually, campus police took the man away.

In the second post in this thread, at 08 January, 2014 12:29 you said "Only a cretin and a sex stalker like Brian 'snug.bug' Good could add 200,000 and 174,000 (which equals 374,000) and get 'half a million.'

In the third post in this thread, at 08 January, 2014 14:09, I corrected you, pointing out that I had listed three independent terms--A, B, and C--and that you had very stupidly assumed that A was meant to be the sum of B and C.

You are unable to remember what you said, and unabkle to admit when you're wrong. Have you considered sending your children to boarding school and withdrawing from their lives? I would recommend it.

Why are you so sensitive about your relationship with Willie Rodriguez? Is there something about it that you're ashamed of?

The lying liar lies, "...In the third post in this thread, at 08 January, 2014 14:09, I corrected you, pointing out that I had listed three independent terms--A, B, and C--and that you had very stupidly assumed that A was meant to be the sum of B and C."

False.

You changed the subject and started babbling about "the mean," and then you posted homosexual stalker spam about Willie Rodriguez. Here's what you wrote in the 3rd post to the thread, liar:

"...I guess the libeler and liar ButtGale can't even read a short article and see that it contains three samples with a median value of 200,000 and a mean value of 291,333." -- Brian "snug.bug" Good, babbling and lying like a 'tard.

This explains why you refuse to post a direct quote or a link -- you're lying. And, as always, lies and half-truths can't be substantiated.

In fact, you never said a word about the $470,000, $207,000 or the $147,000 that was awarded to Hurtado, Cosentino and Lieberman respectively. (Worse still, you gave the wrong amounts. E,g., "Half a million," "200,000.")

Furthermore, you never said a word about the "sum" of anything -- you Goddamned liar.
